Additional cases identified using screened GLAD alerts

The following cases have been identified through screened GLAD alerts (see methodology below). As these cases are either repeat cases from previous Rapid Response reports or where Mighty Earth did not determine any supply chain links for these concessions/groups, no satellite image analysis was conducted for these cases to save resources.

Mighty Earth expects that palm oil traders and biofuel companies conduct their own satellite image analysis of these cases and, if confirmed to be deforestation/peatland development, conduct due diligence to determine if they are exposed to associated companies/groups.

Methodology:For Indonesia, GLAD alerts are screened using the Indonesia Ministry of Forestry and the Environment land cover dataset for 2017 which classifies existing palm oil plantations and primary and secondary forest. Hence, only GLAD alerts in primary and secondary forest according to that dataset are included.

For Malaysia, GLAD alerts are screened to exclude known plantation areas using the Global Forest Watch (GFW) plantations dataset. This automatically eliminates the most common false positives, i.e. the replanting of palm that existed prior to the year 2000.
